All Known Implementing Classes:

DynamicVariable, FieldNode, Parameter, PropertyNode, VariableExpression
```
public interface Variable
```
interface to mark a AstNode as Variable. Typically these are VariableExpression, FieldNode, PropertyNode and Parameter

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Expression`	`getInitialExpression()`	expression used to initialize the variable or null of there is no initialization.
`int`	`getModifiers()`

`ClassNode`	`getOriginType()`	the type before wrapping primitives type of the variable
`ClassNode`	`getType()`	the type of the variable
`boolean`	`hasInitialExpression()`	returns true if there is an initialization expression
`boolean`	`isClosureSharedVariable()`

- Method Detail
  - getType
```
ClassNode getType()
```
    the type of the variable
  - getOriginType
```
ClassNode getOriginType()
```
    the type before wrapping primitives type of the variable
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    the name of the variable
  - getInitialExpression
```
Expression getInitialExpression()
```
    expression used to initialize the variable or null of there is no initialization.
  - hasInitialExpression
```
boolean hasInitialExpression()
```
    returns true if there is an initialization expression
  - isInStaticContext
```
boolean isInStaticContext()
```
    returns true if this variable is used in a static context. A static context is any static initializer block, when this variable is declared as static or when this variable is used in a static method
  - isDynamicTyped
```
boolean isDynamicTyped()
```
  - isClosureSharedVariable
```
boolean isClosureSharedVariable()
```
  - setClosureSharedVariable
```
void setClosureSharedVariable(boolean inClosure)
```
  - getModifiers
```
int getModifiers()
```
